It’s coming, I guarantee. Someone will start a season unexpectedly hot and demand money mid season.

Didn't that basically happen with UNLV last year?

Sad deal all around

I don't know what SC's QB room looks like but Lincoln Riley is the type to sign him.
Would Utah shock anyone?

Every time I see "Utah" it just reminds me how they were ranked preseason something like #12 or #10. And they were unanimous no-doubters winning the Big 12. What absolute horse manure! They were atrocious.

Just shows how worthless preseason polls are. But it also reminds me, as bad as they were, they played way over their heads against us. It made me suspect that they look at ISU more as a rival than the other schools, I mean, they lost to Houston and TCU. Then they played BYU and ISU right down to the wire. Whatever! But it's just one year. I actually hope they prove themselves worthy of P4 status, for the sake of the B12.

Vols told him fine leave:

Well I guess He'll figure out what his value is now. FAFO possibly or a giant payraise. Find out soon I would guess.

 

[NWICY]

They need contracts

Doing it in the spring was nice of him. He has a redshirt available, so he could have brought this up in the fall when it would have put Tennessee in a more difficult situation. I get the urgency from the House settlement looming, but I don’t see FMV holding up

In a similar vein, until there are contracts and consequences, players should consider holding out for more money in high leverage moments, like for the NCAA Tournament or major bowl games. Particularly seniors, which have no future earnings to lose. Prisoner’s dilemma most likely means even those with eligibility could gain

That might work at a few big schools but I think at most schools it would turn the fans off enough their NIL funds to dry off. I hope we don't have to find out.

Agree.

Seems a bit premature. No waiting period at CU for such a thing?

Colorado has retired only four other numbers:
Byron White (1936-37) (24)
Joe Romig (1959-61) (67)
Bobby Anderson (1967-69) (11)
Rashaan Salaam (1993-94) (19) (won Heisman Trophy)

"Jersey" vs. "number"

"Jersey" vs. "number"

I wondered - so these are just "jersey" and not "numeral"?

Does CU do both?

I just saw on ESPN that Lee Corso is retiring. Good run for him, but it was time.

66.5% heads up win rate isn’t great. If he did that against the spread it’d be impressive.

Why did they talk him out of it? Do little people not deserve scholarships too?

Ehh id bet its only a half scholarship

Enjoyed the segment but it's been time for awhile now. Congrats to a legend.

ESPN actually deserves a ton of credit for how they've handled Corso and Vitale. Allowing them to stay involved without putting them in a spot where they embarrass themselves is a really tough line to walk and they've pulled it off.
